It can. The C.D.C. (Center for Disease Control) decided to deny this so as to keep the public calm.

Actually, I believe it can.
The facts are
Mosquito is cold blooded, meaning its just like a needle that you would use to shoot up with, or get poked with for any reason.
I have and most people have experienced a mosquito landing on them, hitting it and having blood rush out, and it never bit me.
Therefore , I believe that if I were in close range of someone with HIV and the little bugger bit them, sucked up blood, then went on to me, I could get HIV just as easily as a nurse or doctor who would get pricked by a needle
What I am not sure of, is why this is being dismissed as can not happen, Maybe the powers that be fear mass fear of HIV from the public. Wouldnt be the first time, facts were altered to so called prevent mass public fear.

I believe that it is because a mosquito only needs to eat like every 24 hours and one bite of a person feeds them. the blood has to still be wet in order to transmit hiv and after 24 hours there isn't any blood left that is wet on the mosquito.

I've often wondered the same thing. They can transmit other diseases. I hope someone has an answer, I'd love to know.

when the mosquito sucks the HIV blood, the chemical in its saliva and digestive system kills the virus.
